Brief Sentences from Bee0her.

We sleep, but the loom of life never stops:
and the pattern which was weaving when
the sun went down, is weaving when it
comes up tomorrow.
He who is false to present duty breaks
thread in the loom, and will find the flaw
when he may have forgotten its cause.
Some men are like pyramids which are
very broad where they touch the ground,
but grow narrower as they reach the sky.
In this world it is not what we take up,
but what we give up, that makes US rich.
A helping word to one in trouble is often
like switch ON railroad track-but one
inch between wreck and smooth-rolling
prosperity.
A Christianity which will not help those
who are struggling from the bottom to the
top of society needs another Christ to die
for it.
Success is full of promise till men get it;
and then it is last years nest, from which
the bird has flown.
We go to the grave of friend saying, GA
man is dead;" but angels throng about him
saying, ga man is born"
We ought to love life; we ought to desire
to live here so long as God ordains it; but
let us not so encase ourselves in time that
we cannot break the crust and begin to
throw out-shoots for the other life.
In the morning we carry the world, like
Atlas; at noon we stop and bend beneath 1t,
and at night it crushes us fiat to the ground.
Any feeling that takes man away from
his home is a traitor to the household.
1t is one of the worst effects of prosperity
to make man vortex instead of foun-
tain, SO that, instead of throwing out, he
learns only to draw in.
1t is Eot well for man to pray cream and
live skim milk.
Liberty is the SOULS right to breathe, and
when it cannot take long breath laws are
girGled too right. Without liberty man Ia
syneope.
The truest self-respect is not to think of
self.
Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth
set up and stuffed.
Men have different spheres. 1t is for some
to evolve great moral truths, as the heavens
evolve stars, to guide the sailor ON the sea
and the traveller on the desert; and it is for
some, like the sailer and the traveller, SIM
ply to be guided.
The stream of life forks, and religion is
not to run in one channel and business in
another.
There is always somebody to believe in
any one who is uppermost.
Death is the dropping of the flower that
tbs fruit may swell.
A man living at hotel is like a grape
vine in a flower -pot-movable, carried
around from place to place, docked at the
root and short at the tep. Nowhere can =
man get real root-room, and spread cut his
branches till they touch the merning and the
evening, but in his own house.
As flowers never put on their best clothes
fer Sunday, but wear their spOtless raiment
and exhale their odor every day, SO let your
Christian life, free from stain, ever give
forth the fragrance of the love of God.
Keep sweet your breath-if maid or wife,
Or old or young, or large or small,
If you have any hope in life,-
Ifyou have any friends at all.

C1unie Opera House.

The announcement is made that Mar
garet Mather, supported by the Union
Square Company, of New York, j. NJ Hill,
the manager of that theater being in per-
sonal charge of the troupe, will appear here
Friday and Saturday of this week. 1t is
an announcement OF special dramatic
moment. Miss Mather is admitted to be
the typical Juliet of the American stage.
She is native of Detroit, Mich
igan, but twenty-five years of age
and adds to brilliant dramatic genius,
personal attractiveness that ranks her with
the most beautiful women of the land.
When she was mere girl she became pas
sionately fond of Shakespearean text, and
fixing upon the character of Juliet as that
of all others, she believed she could inter-
pref 1t as the immortal bard conceived it..
She spent two years in its study before es-
saying it, making her first appearance
when but 20 years of age. 1t is personal
history that this woman who has achieved
such great success when mere child was
selling papers in the streets of Detroit, on a
winter day in 1872, thinly clad and half
frozen, when benevolent citizen of wealth
noticed her, searched out her parents, who
were poor, and through his influence they
were enabled to give the girl a good educa-
Hill heard her, saw in her the fire of true
genius, and gave her first dramatic ad-
vice, and which resulted in her final
success. OF her Juliet as played at Mime
apolis this month the Tribune of that city
says: "She is natural therefore original.
She is not conventional, because she imi-
tates no one, and accomplishes what she
does in her own way. And that way is to
intuse the glowing warmth and impulsive
energy of womanhood into what others
have made cold and artificial. Her feelings
seem swayed by the sincerity ard intensity
of emotion. For the time being the audi
tor remembers only the character in the
absorption of her individuality" Proba-
bly, no other American actresses have in
recent years achieved more brilliant and
continued success than Mary Anderson
and Margaret Mather. Miss Mather has
personated Shakespeare's Juliet no less
than SIS times, according to the Minneapo.

New METROPOLITAN Theater.

The WILDER company played a drama en-
titled Woman against Woman " last
night. The company has had great deal
of heralding here in the way of bills,
dodgers and advertisements, announcing
low prices and gifts by chance. The latter
method, to say the least, is not one to be
approved, nor is it calculated to encourage
a favorable estimateof the dramatic powers
of the troupe that resorts to it. Nine of the
fifteen people in the company appeared
last night. Judged by this section, any
suspicion of its being mediocre was last
night realized. The actors labor hard to
do well, have been trained-to their credit
to speak clearly and distinctly, and are
certainly familiar with stage business, but
they cannot move an audience or CRAFTY
a moderate capacity to enjoy dramatic
entertainment. There are some of them
who could give support in a well-balanced
company, but they are not of the timber to
maintain a fairly good performance alone.
The play presented is the tbinnest intel
lectual Cruel that can be set out for
an intelligent audience. 1t is such
a story as grammar school girl
might write, but which her friends
would never encourage her to print.
The situation in the fourth act, if
not stolen bodily from another drama is a
remarkable example of coincidence, In
the Streets of New York. to be played
tonight, which moves upon very differ
ent plane and will bring out the troupe, it
is possible it may do better; it will at least
give A. S. Rice and J. D. 0'Hare, who have
low comedy capacity, broad opportunity.
Wednesday night the company proposes to
play Called Back" We are more than
curious to see what the outcome will be.
If the best foot was put forward last night,
Wednesday night the company will I'M
questionably not be called back. The au-
dience last night was very large, the stand
ing room being even all taken. While the
dead-head list had been greatly sweled,
still there was an extraordinarily large house
besides, and many were turned away, un
able even to get into the upper circle. 1t

The business streets of Sacramento are
continually improving IN appearance, and
